Maintaining Your Gaskets

Nearly every piece of commercial restaurant equipment that cooks or stores food is going to have gaskets. When gaskets wear out or get filthy over time, this can seriously affect the functioning of the unit. If the gasket on a commercial freezer wears out or is so dirty it allows heat in, you can lose hundreds of dollars worth of product. To prevent this, here are some easy to remember tips to keep gaskets running smoothly.

Clean the gaskets daily using warm, soapy water to prevent crusted food from preventing a good, tight seal. Not only is a good seal required for proper operation, but a bad seal could affect the electronics board or the control panel on equipment that has such a thing. When gaskets start to wear, replace them as soon as possible. In most cases, you can easily do it yourself. While you’re in their, check the hinges – make sure they’re tight and clean.
